Dear Colleague: 

I am pleased to present the Winter/Spring 2011 Catalogue of Courses 

sponsored by Continuing Dental Education at The University of British 

Columbia. We are excited about our program, and hope you will take 

advantage of some of the excellent educational opportunities available. 

Our on line registration software was upgraded last summer to meet 

the standards of PCI compliancy. The Payment Card Industry Data 

Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a worldwide information security 

standard defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. 

The standard was created to help payment card industry organizations 

that process card payments prevent credit card fraud through increased 

controls around data and its exposure to compromise. The standard 

applies to all organizations that hold, process, or exchange cardholder 

information from any card branded with the logo of one of the card 

brands. CDE is confident that you will be reassured that all your credit card 

information is protected to the highest standards, while providing you the 

ease and access of registering for courses on line at your convenience 

through our safe and secure on line registration system. 

Please be sure to mark in your calendar for Adventure and Learn in 

Hawaii, February 2011. Also in February we will hosting the annual 

Vernon Ski Seminar February 18 and 19, 2011. Sure to be 

another great learning opportunity is Cast Gold Restoration June 

20-24, 2011. 

Our newsletter emails have been very well received this year. Please look 

for our new email design in the new year. If you would like to receive 

course reminders via email, please email cde@interchange.ubc.ca and we 

will add you to our list. If you have any suggestions or feedback for our 

program, we would also appreciate hearing from you at the same address! 

I would like to thank our sponsors for their ongoing support, as their 

generosity enables us to continue to offer excellent programs throughout 

the year, and of course, those of you who continue to register for our 

courses. 

On behalf of Continuing Dental Education, Best Wishes for Happy and 

Healthy New Year! 

With kind regards, 

Sylvia Stephens, Director

Photography for Dental Professionals 

Dr. Richard Simonsen 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Dentists have a need to document their clinical 

work photographically from both a legal (defensive) aspect, and a selfinterest 

or research aspect to develop a portfolio of their clinical work. This 

portfolio can be used to educate future patients, as well as form the basis 

for potential publications of case reports in peer-reviewed journals for the 

benefit of the profession. Richard Simonsen started his clinical photography 

in 1974 and his many years of experience will aid the novice or experienced 

clinical photographer. How to ethically modify your photographs with computer 

software will also be discussed. Additionally, many dentists have an interest in 

general photography and techniques for both intraoral, as well as wildlife and 

general photography, will be discussed in the general context of photography 

for the dental professional. Examples will be discussed in detail showing how 

the balance of shutter speed, aperture opening, ISO setting and focal length 

can lead to the capture of photographs that will make you proud! 

7 

Learning objectives: 

• the attendee will be able to select the appropriate equipment for the 

chosen level of expertise 

• the attendee will be able to define and practice the core components of a 

successful photograph 

• the attendee will be able to discuss the ethical and professional 

responsibility in the modification of photographs

UBC Dentistry Research Day 2011 

Dignity and Quality of Life for a Frail Population 

UBC Student Union Building Ballroom 

Research Day 2011 is pleased to highlight the research being done 

by several members of UBC’s ELDERS (Elders Link with Dental 

Education, Research and Service) Group, a multidisciplinary team 

which draws on expertise from many faculties. 

The frail—those typically over 75 with physical or mental disabilities that 

interfere with independent daily activity—receive almost no attention in todays 

youth-skewed culture. Attention to oral health is possibly the most neglected 

medical concern in this population, however, if a senior’s dental needs remain 

unattended, whether a result of tooth decay or poor hygiene, serious oral and 

medical problems can occur. 

The Faculty of Dentistry is honoured to include presentations on this pressing 

concern from a diverse and complementary group of full-time faculty, along 

with Dr. Lynn Beattie and Hamber Visiting Professor Dr. Asuman Kiyak. Beattie 

is professor emeritus, UBC Department of Medicine, Division of Geriatric 

Medicine, and Kiyak is professor and director of the Institute on Aging at the 

University of Washington, Seattle.

Anaesthesia program being offered by Continuing Dental Education this winter. 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: A two-day comprehensive review designed 

to teach and revisit basic and current concepts of local anaesthesia and 

administration of local anaesthetic agents. Come and participate in two full 

days that include lectures and an opportunity for hands-on practice of clinical 

techniques. Participants must be currently registered to practice in British 

Columbia. As participants practice on each other, you must be able to receive 

local anaesthesia or you must provide a stand-in for your partner. 

Learning objectives: 

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

1. Describe head and neck anatomy related to the administration of local 

anaesthetic agents. 

2. Describe principles of pharmacology related to local anaesthetic agents 

and adrenergic drugs. 

3. Demonstrate the various techniques involved in the administration of local 

anaesthetic agents. 

4. Explain patient evaluation, complications and office emergencies as related 

to local anaesthesia. 

The textbook, HANDBOOK OF LOCAL ANAESTHESIA (5th Edition), by Dr. 

Stanley Malamed is recommended for review prior to the course. A self 

aspirating syringe is provided to each participant on the first day of the course.

ADVENTURE AND LEARN – Maui, Hawaii 

DE9315 

Endodontics: Get better! Now! 

The UBC/Hawaii course of endodontics will focus on the most relevant topics 

in clinical endodontics. The approach taken by both lecturers, Dr. Jeff Coil and 

Dr. Markus Haapasalo is first and foremost a practical one. As the best clinical 

results can be obtained when we also have a solid understanding of the issues 

leading to or complicating the treatment of endodontic diseases, theory and 

background information will also be addressed, facilitated by clinical examples. 

Course topics: 

1. Current trends in clinical endodontics 

2. Treatment planning: Diagnosis and treatment options 

3. Review of tooth morphology and anatomic variations 

4. Instrumentation: on the cutting edge 

5. Effective and safe irrigation: need to know and good to know 

6. Evaluating endodontic success versus failure; deciding upon endodontic 

retreatment versus endodontic surgery: risks and benefits 

7. How to secure optimal long term endodontic results and treatment 

outcomes 

8. Update on resorptions 

9. Longitudinal tooth fractures: Most dentists don’t know this… 


Markus Haapasalo DDS, PhD, Fellow of RCDC (endodontics) received 

his dental degree from the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Helsinki, 

Finland in 1978. From 1995 to 2004 he was a Professor of Endodontics in

Clinical Diagnosis of Oral Lesions 

Traditionally oral pathology has been taught in dental schools by presenting 

either clinical or histologic images and asking the student to recall their names. 

In clinical practice alterations in the oral soft and hard tissues rarely resemble 

the images from either dental school classes or oral pathology textbooks. 

The objective of this presentation is to guide the participants to develop an 

approach for the differential diagnosis of lesions of the soft tissues of the 

oral cavity through evaluation of key features of the lesions and reference to 

the anatomy/histology of the intraoral site. This approach builds on strengths 

resulting from the clinical care of patients to provide a more comprehensive 

strategy to develop a differential diagnosis. 


Charles F. Shuler, D.M.D., Ph.D. is the Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry 

of the University of British Columbia. Prior to UBC he was a faculty member 

at the University of Southern California for 18 years. At USC he served as

Predictable C & B Impressions and Simplified 

Temporization – A Hands on Program 

Dr. Len Boksman 

DE9335 

Course Description: Simplification with predictability in crown and bridge 

seems hard to achieve unless you have materials and techniques that work 

in synchronicity. This program will present systems of impressioning and 

temporization that lead to increased productivity and time savings with less 

clinical variability. These systems will facilitate insertion of crown and bridge 

restorations and veneers with minimal time spent. Also discussed will be tissue 

management and how various haemostatic agents affect polyvinyl siloxane 

materials and subsequent bonding. The afternoon will be a hands on program 

on temporization during which the participants will have the opportunity of 

preparing anterior veneer temporaries, a three unit temporary bridge, a single 

unit temporary, and if time allows a reduction coping. 

What You Will Learn: 

• Impressions – the use of matched systems 

• Cords 

• Haemostatic Agents 

• Materials for Crown & Bridge Temporaries 

• Bite Registrations – why they are a problem for the lab and you 

• Temporization for posterior full coverage 

• Simple temporization for anterior veneers 

• The use of reduction guides and clear silicone matrix for temporization 

with light cure composite 

PLEASE NOTE: If you wear magnification loupes while practicing, 

we recommend you bring them to this hands-on course.

Local Anaesthesia – The Backbone of Pain Control in 

Dentistry 

Dr. Stanley Malamed 

Course Description: Local anaesthesia forms the backbone of pain 

control techniques in dentistry. Local anaesthetic drugs are the safest and the 

most effective drugs in medicine for the prevention and management of pain. 

In this program Dr. Malamed will discuss some of the exciting innovations 

that are occurring in the area of pain control in dentistry with an emphasis 

on local anaesthesia. 

After an overview of the subject of dental pain control Dr. Malamed will discuss 

(1) the local anaesthesia ‘ON’ switch -- buffered local anaesthetics, providing 

profound pain control within 2 minutes of injection; (2) the LA ‘OFF’ switch 

phentolamine mesylate, enabling sensation to be restored significantly faster; 

(3) IN (intranasal) local anaesthesia – permitting treatment on maxillary teeth 

without injection; (4) C- CLAD (computer--controlled LA delivery– making all 

injections more comfortable; (5) a review of articaine HCl – new research 

on its effectiveness in mandibular infiltration, (6) the dilemma of the ‘hot’ 

mandibular molar – how to effectively anaesthetize these difficult teeth; (7) 

LA in the paediatric population – how to make LA safer in younger patients, 

and (8) the question of paresthesia as related to the administration of LA. 

Stanley F. Malamed, D.D.S was born and raised in the Bronx, New York, 

graduating from the New York University College of Dentistry in 1969. He then 

completed a dental internship and residency in anaesthesiology at Montefiore 

Hospital and Medical Center in the Bronx, New York before serving for 2 years 

in the U.S. Army Dental Corps at Ft. Knox, Kentucky. In 1973, Doctor Malamed 

joined the faculty of the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of U.S.C., in Los 

Angeles, where today he is Professor of Anaesthesia & Medicine. Dr. Malamed 

is a Diplomate of the American Dental Board of Anaesthesiology, as well

Digital Radiography: Want to go Digital? Don’t Know Where 

to Start? 

Ms. Neala Welburn, Ms. Susan Schmitz 

Course Description: Digital radiography is rapidly becoming a wellaccepted 

tool for oral and maxillofacial radiology. A large number of systems 

for oral radiography are available in the market at this moment. This ½ day 

hands-on course will highlight the pros and cons of two intra-oral systems: 

PSP (Photstimulable Phosphor Plate) and CCD (Charge Couple Device). 

Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each system and gain 

the knowledge to make an informed purchasing decision. Determine what 

the differences are in exposure technique. This course will highlight specific 

features of both direct and indirect digital technologies and compare them 

with conventional film based imaging. The first hour will cover the pros and 

cons of each session didactically, and the last 2 hours will be hands-on in the 

clinic to see firsthand what the differences are, such as image manipulation 

and exposure. 

By the end of this course, the participant will have enough knowledge of each 

digital system to make an informed decision regarding which system is right 

for their office. 

This course will be of interest to the entire dental team! 

Neala Welburn, CDA, PID is a Certified Dental Assistant with 19 years of 

practice experience and 3 years as a Clinical dental radiography educator

Orthodontic Treatment Planning: Optimizing the Smile and 

Facial Aesthetics 

Dr. Linda Taylor and Dr. Sara Shamloo 

Lecture Synopsis: The goal of the orthodontist is to achieve a functional 

occlusion but also to make our patients more attractive. We will analyze 

the smile and the face discussing the arrangements and proportions that 

are considered most aesthetic. Orthodontic cases will be shown illustrating 

treatment planning principles that can optimize dental and facial aesthetics for 

your patients. Ideal occlusions and excellent aesthetics can best be achieved 

in patients with ideal jaw relationships and perfectly proportioned teeth….but 

for everyone else there must be some compromises. We must be careful not to 

make choices that compromise aesthetics. 

Linda Taylor, DDS and Dr. Shamloo, DDS, are partners in an orthodontic practice 

in Coquitlam. Dr. Taylor graduated from UBC dentistry in 1982 and completed 

her orthodontic training in Toronto in 1989. Her special interest is facial 

aesthetics and the evolutionary reasons behind our aesthetic preferences. 

Dr. Shamloo graduated from dentistry in 1997 from McGill and completed her 

orthodontic training in 2005 at Western Ontario. Her Master’s thesis involved a 

study of lip aesthetics as influenced by an extraction or non-extraction treatment 

approach. Both Dr. Taylor and Dr. Shamloo share an almost obsessive interest 

in analyzing the facial aesthetics of their patients and tabloid celebrities which 

they feel complements their orthodontic practice.

Advanced Hard and Soft Tissue Grafting 

– A Three Day Cadaver Course 

Dr. Hassan Moghadam 

OVERVIEW: Initially implant function was a measure of success; today, however, 

implant esthetics is what drives patients to seek treatment. This has raised the 

demands on the implant surgeons who now have to master both hard and soft 

tissue management around dental implants. 

This hands on cadaver course is designed to treat the most challenging 

aspects of tissue deficiency. Both horizontal and vertical hard and soft tissue 

augmentation techniques will be demonstrated. 

Novel soft tissue augmentation such as the Vascularized Interpositional 

Periosteal Connective Tissue graft (VIP-CT) will be used to correct both 

horizontal and vertical soft tissue deficiencies with one procedure. Vertical bone 

grafting techniques using GBR and autogenous blocks will be demonstrated as 

well as combination hard and soft tissue procedures. 

Hard and soft tissue grafting techniques will be demonstrated and each 

participant will perform the procedure on a cadaver head. 

This course will provide both the biologic rational and clinical techniques for 

grafting. Finally complications of each procedure will be discussed. 

COURSE CONTENT: 

• Biology of hard and soft tissue grafting 

• Esthetic principles in implant placement 

• Immediate implant placement and temporization 

• Socket preservation and temporization 

• Up to date clinical and scientific review of bone substitutes 

• Small and large volume soft tissue augmentation 

• Small and large volume bone augmentation 

• Bone harvesting technique (ramus, zygoma, tuberosity, and chin) 

• Combination of hard and soft tissue augmentation 

• Autogenous block grafting - Vertical bone augmentation 

• Autogenous J-graft - Guided tissue regeneration using membranes 

• Sinus augmentation 

• Nerve lateralization 

• Alveolar distraction 

• Complications and how to deal with them 

PLEASE NOTE: If you wear magnification loupes while practicing, we 

recommend you bring them to this hands-on course.
